[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is the case for almost all the young people I know, including my 17 year old. I made him get a license, said it was a core life skill and once he was licensed, could choose to drive or not. But few of his friends have a license. 4 of my 5 nieces/nephews didn’t get a license until 18 or after. Half my friends kids don’t have licenses at 17+. Definitely a trend n my world. [/quote]

I grew up in NYC, where you don't really need a car. Nevertheless, my parents insisted that I learn to drive, because it is an important skill to have. I was the same way with my children. Two of them live in cities with excellent public transport; the third lives in an area where it would be very difficult to live without a car. My youngest says that some of their peers did not want a driver's license, so perhaps it is a trend. I did not hear that when my older two were teens. At any rate, it was non-negotiable in my house. All my children had to get a driver's license, and I taught all three of them.[/quote]
